Alpine Inn

Alpine Inn is a popular spot! Our group of 4 met here on a Saturday and there was a line before it was open. Driving in the parking lot, there are attendants to help you find parking, at least on a weekend morning. Honestly, I thought people were there to meet up for a hiking/biking group since lots of people wear casual athletic wear as a I drove past. Turns out, they were in line for the restaurant and they planned their outfits correctly, as this is a all outdoors beerhall style, casual establishment. We luckily got seated promptly by the creekside and next to heat lamps after opening. Ordering is via the QR code and the items are delivered to your table. There are signs on the tables for a 2 hr limit and you pay on your mobile phone which is convenient. When we left, we didn't expect the line to be as long as it was, since we were pretty secluded on the inside of the restaurant.Food tried:1. Brutus Salad (5/5)If you are looking for a Ceasar salad, this is Alpine Inn's version. This dish was surprisingly not fishy and very fresh and clean tasting. Croutons were crunchy but not so dry that it would scratch your mouth, and I was concerned that the the Calabrian chili caesar dressing would be spicy but that was not the case. Really nice salad.2. Alpine Smash Burger + Sweet Potato Fries (5/5)If you like a smash burger, this is a great option - nicely cooked patty and fluffy brioche. As mentioned before, the ingredients are fresh so it was not oily as some burgers can be. Sweet potato fries were thicker cut and soft on the inside and crispy on the outside.3. Besio Pizza (5/5)This popular pizza item is topped with sauteed spicy fennel sausage, marscapone, and is spicy and sweet from the Calabrian chile and honey drizzle. Lovely flavors and textures. Do recommend!4. Meatballs & Burrata (5/5)The soft and savory meatballs atop a fresh marinara sauce, and topped parmesan and dollops of arugula pesto (I don't usually like arugula but there's no arugula taste). The burrata was also beautifully delicate and not too salty. And the toasted and buttered Acme bread slices were decadent.Drinks tried:1. Berry Fresh Bramble (5/5)One of our members was most excited for this and it was very refreshing and pretty, so much so that 2 of us also ordered it - The drink is a fizzy lime soda water with muddled berries.2. Strawberry Ginger Cooler (5/5)This was also refreshing and if you like ginger beer, this is similar to the berry fresh bramble drink but a little more zing.Overall, Alpine Inn was a wonderful experience. I was surprised by the fresh and tasty ingredients and dishes, and being outdoors by the creek and next to heat lamps was a perfect temperature. Do recommend getting here early but enjoy!

Came here on a Sunday afternoon was busy but got seated within 20 minutes. Parking is hard and limited. Such a nice spot to have lunch outdoors. They have heat lamps which made it fine to be outside on a chilly day. The service was fast and the drinks were well made. The food was delicious. We ordered burgers, pulled pork sandwich and pizza. Everything priced reasonably. Can't wait to go back.

I came here after hearing so many great reviews about this place. Parking can be difficult as it took 20-30 mins to find a parking space when I visited. The staff, ambiance, and food were all great! The drinks were delicious and reasonably priced as well. I'll certainly be back. Great place for many different occasions (date night, game night, groups, etc). I recommend visiting this place for any occasion.

The vibes! I can't wait to come when it's warm and sunny, for some beer and pizza with my friends and dogs.

Amazing place to have a meal. Everything we ordered was delicious. You order your food and drink through a barcode you scan, and everything came out so fast and efficient. They have a large outdoor seatings. Overall, will definitely return.

Came here Tuesday lunch with all of my coworkers. There were about 30 of us and we called a couple days ahead to let them know we were coming.We had to wait until 75% of our party was here to be seated. Once we got seated, they said we had to sit 10 people to a table. As grown adults, 10 is a tight squeeze and almost impossible to get out of once sat. I would recommend having the tables being max 8 people if they are all adults.The outdoor seating was so nice because it was in the trees and it felt like you were transported to a place outside of the Bay Area. Our hostess informed us on how everything works with ordering and all of the different options we had. They even had heated lamps and had someone come turn them on for us. Ordering was simple, you just scan a QR code at the table and you can either do individual orders or a group order. You can even add more to the order after placing one and they won't charge you until the end which is nice. After we placed our order, our food came out so quickly which was surprising considering how big our party was.The food overall was so good. Top things to get: pizza, burger, and mac n cheese!! Pricing was reasonable. The best bang for your buck is the pizza for sure.Will definitely be coming back here outside of work hours to try more food and their beer!

I don't know why, but the Alpine Inn is a lot of fun. It's nothing special on some level but it actually is because it is pedestrian on many levels. You will eat off paper plates, you get your own cutlery, to-go boxes, napkins. You order online. The servers are nice but you really don't see them that much. I think the ambiance is key. Seated by the creek, out in nature. It's like a high-end picnic in the woods with your friends, and you didn't even have to reserve the campsite. In fact, you can't! Alpine Inn doesn't take reservations! Get there early, and carpool! I got great parking because I had six other people in the car - there's a carpool parking area.

This was my second visit. I always have a great time at this place.Good food, good service and an amazing ambiance.

First of all the food tastes so good. The burger, the appetizers, everything! I even got their coffee, it was good. Service was pretty good, people would always ask if we need anything, honestly fairly easy to get what you need. Ambiance? I love it. You can choose to stay outside under warm heaters, being around nature is always so fun and exciting. Overall, must try!

This was a lovely place to stop by after our hike and grab some food. There's a large area in the back with a lot of outdoor seating. They have a large menu so there's a lot of options to choose from (although I noticed that they didn't offer a chicken burger but they had many other types of burgers). We got the chicken and beef tacos. They were great! It was very clean, there's a lot of staff, and there's a very large parking area as well. 10/10 recommend this place when in the area.
